From the year 1558 (Queen Elizabeth I) until 1829 (Roman Catholic Relief Act) members of the Church of Rome in England could not practice their religion openly. But they could sing the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with its hidden meanings. The tenth day (ten lords a-leaping) is the Ten Commandments. This was written in Cornish in about 1612. "Thou shalt have no other God but me."
